    I have bought a new ASUS V6800 notebook last week. Yesterday, I had pluged tha adapter and the LCD began to blink. Like switching between adapter and battery power with several frequency. After 15 minutes I could use notebook without blinking much more 10 hours.
    But now, it is begin to blink again.

    My question : the adapter or network power is wrong?
    Or anything else?

    Thx

    I am experiencing a similar "problem" (quote because I don't know if it's a real problem). [V6J-8002P]

    The battery charges just fine, the led goes out, if I unplug the notebook the battery lasts the normal period of more than 3 hours. The issue is that the led starts blinking at some points, with a frequency of about 2 Hz (2 blinks per second), for not more than 2 seconds.

    As far as I remember, this happens both on battery and AC power. I do not have a rule for when it happens. It happenned e.g., just now after I plugged the AC out and then back in: it charged to full, went off for a minute, and then blinked a few times.

    My wild guess would be the following:

    either (i) the current output of the batt fluctuates slightly more than usual when it's full (or in some particular charge states when the led blinks), or (ii) the sensor is not very good at those particular charge states, and its reading fluctuates. This is combined with a rather narrow hysteresis for the led, might lead to the blinking effect.

    This would mean that there isn't any real problem with the battery.

    On the other hand, my reasoning could be wrong entirely and there might be something really wrong.

    Any of you has any experience with this problem? :) I see Laci has asked about it quite some time ago with no answer.
